Function 07: SPCN functions

This function allows you to perform a System Power Control Network (SPCN) operation.

This function is available only in the manual operating mode and from power on standby.

Notes:
  • The system that will display the ID must be powered off with ac power applied.
  • If you have just restored power to the system, the service processor must return to standby mode before the control panel functions will work correctly. Returning the service processor to standby mode takes a few minutes after the panel appears to be operational.
  • The control panel must be in manual operating mode to access function 07 options.
To perform an SPCN operation that is controlled by function 07, do the following:
  1. Select function 07, and then press Enter. 07** is displayed.
  2. Select the function that you want to perform (see Table 1). Use the Increment or Decrement buttons (↑↓) to scroll to the appropriate function. Press Enter to display 07nn00, where nn is the function that you selected.

    Function Description For more information
    A1 Broadcasts a power-on command. Go to step 5.
    A6 Displays frame address on all I/O enclosures. Go to step 5.
    A8 Displays the SPCN configuration ID number for a selected frame. 07A8 is displayed. Go to step 3.
    A9 Sets the SPCN configuration ID for a selected frame. 07A9 is displayed. Go to step 4.
  3. If you selected function A8 in step 2, do the following:
    1. To display the configuration of the I/O enclosure, do the following:
      1. Use the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the first two characters of the frame address of the I/O enclosure, and then press Enter. 07nn00 is displayed, where nn is the first byte of the frame address.
      2. Use the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the second two characters of the frame address of the I/O enclosure, and then press Enter. 07nn00 is displayed on the selected I/O enclosure, where nn is the second byte of the frame address.
        Note: The display on an addressed I/O enclosure is blinking on and off while displaying the processing unit ID as the last two characters of the bottom line.
    2. To display the configuration of the processing unit, do the following:
      1. Use the (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the first two characters of the frame address of the processing unit, and then press Enter. 07** is displayed.
      2. Use the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the second two characters of the frame address of the processing unit, and then press Enter. The configuration ID is displayed on the processing unit. 07nn00 is displayed, where nn is the processing unit ID). For example, for a model 505, 07C0 is displayed.
    3. Use the table at the end of these procedures to check the processing unit ID.
  4. If you selected function A9 in step 2, do the following:
    1. To set the configuration of the selected I/O enclosure, do the following:
      1. Ensure that the system power of the selected I/O enclosure is in standby mode. If the system power of the selected I/O enclosure is not in standby mode, complete the procedure in Powering off an expansion unit. Then return to step 1.
      2. Use the (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the first two characters of the frame address of the I/O enclosure to configure, and then press Enter. 07nn00 is displayed, where nn is the first byte of the unit address.
        Note: For nonsystem unit frames only, the display on the addressed frame is blinking on and off.
      3. Use the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the second two characters of the frame address of the I/O enclosure, and then press Enter. 07nn00 is displayed, where nn is the second byte of the frame address.
        Note: The display on the addressed I/O enclosure is blinking on and off.
      4. Use the (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the correct processing unit ID, and then press Enter. Use the table at the end of these procedures to check the processing unit ID. 07nn is displayed, where nn is the processing unit ID). The processing unit ID is accepted and displayed on the I/O enclosure.
    2. To set the configuration of the selected processing unit, do the following:
      1. Ensure that the system power is in standby mode. If the system power of the selected processing unit is not in standby mode, complete the procedure in Stop the system. Then return to step 1.
      2. Use the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the frame address of the processing unit to configure.
      3. Use the (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons to select the correct processing unit ID, and then press Enter. Use the table at the end of these procedures to check the processing unit ID. 07nn00 is displayed, where nn is the processing unit ID.

        The processing unit ID is accepted and displayed on the processing unit.

        After 20 to 30 seconds, the display on the addressed I/O enclosure stops blinking and returns to the normal display format. On a system unit, the display shows the series of bring-up reference codes and then displays function 01.

  5. Scroll to 07** using the Increment (↑) or Decrement (↓) buttons, and then press Enter. This returns the control panel to the normal display.
